Electrify America (owned by VW) entered into a contract with Tesla last year for tesla grid battery systems. The intent is to beef up remote charging stations with battery capacity. Primary reason is to address limited power at remote sites ie handle faster charging needs and as backup power...

The number one thing worth the money is the lower gear set in the wilderness trim. That gear set should be standard in all the OB. In 2001 I opted for a legacy GT because it got a lower gear set than the OB and it made a world of difference…. Dumbest thing ever was the tall gear set in the OB...

I have Run our Fusion Energi plugin hybrid 730 miles between gas station visits. Heck the COVID shut down it went 14 months between gas station visits. All our local trips are EV only. Its awesome. Add that I have solar on my house its even better. My average electric bill in 2015 was $450 with...

So first thing long distance towing rigs will be hybrid not straight EV. The typical house HVAC AC uses 2x the amount of daily power a typical EV owner uses in a day. Several EV owners during the heat wave charged up 100% typically thats not the norm. With anticipation of using the EV to power...

Doesn’t matter which device if your loading on free apps your giving China your info?

I switched to iphone when all our tech security guys pointed out they only use iPhones. The open source stuff in the other brands make them a zero secure device ?‍♂️

Plugin hybrids will probably only be seen on utility type vehicles in the near future. Passenger car straight EV makes the most sense today. Hybrid truck large SUV etc that especially makes sense when you consider towing and long distance trips with lots of equipment or passengers etc. If my...

I was thinking embers were aluminum chassis also. If they are just the typical soft steel no biggie.

Yeah the ratings vs dry weight definitely will make the over packing problem a factor. Also Aluminum frame trailers don’t tolerate over loading well. They crack vs boring ol steel frame bend. One is definitely more exciting than the other?

Its been on and off my list lots of positives!! Some negatives… I would only have one workable model. Family Expedition with three separate bunk area’s. Big positive is its low road mode profile vs wind storms during transit. I likely can’t make it work due to the lack of gear storage options...

This is likely a contributing factor to the /~\ Taxa axle issues. Same for several other brands using the torsion axles, name the brand they all have had problems some no doubt faulty axles but all the trailers I have seen with constant axle issues are 17-20ft 3000-5000lb rated and easily over...

Most EV owners are only on a charger 30-40 minutes at most. The old concept of fill it up then give it three more clicks isn’t how EVs work. The battery technology makes the meat of the battery the best portion to use, charge run at etc. from 20% to 80% is the meat of a EV battery. Thats the...

Being compact and as boring/ unremarkable looking as possible makes for the best out west vehicle. Go anywhere, no one will mess with your stuff etc. Go full EXPO bolt on credit card bonkers and you’ll look like a traveling out door gear sales vehicle ?.. ???

Chargers definitely have lower foot print and property impact than the OL gas station. Utilities will ultimately be the top vendors for charge points. New commercial stuff like banks mini malls etc all get a flat fee or monthly rental fee for charging stations put n their parking lots. The...

Bunk bed is a convertible sofa thats two sheets of plywood. No structure added. They hang on brackets tied to the outer wall.

Yes lots of “poser” stuff being sold to rookies especially right now with the market crash. Literally no buyers shopping right now. Lithium power needs to be housed in a heated space for cold weather use or they lock out charging. A huge benefit to Lithium is charging speed but if associated...

They are trying to dump 22 stock 23’s are being built. Trust me you have lots of negotiation room! But hey got money burning holes in your pockets go for it?. Im in CA. Already seeing dealers dropping into the mid/high 30’s listings. Don’t be a sucker at the end of the summer season and...

My version of the Mantis? Front bunks setup for real human sized kids which means floor level lower bunk and mid wall height upper bunks. Those flip up for storage gear room in road mode. Morryde air suspension setup like what Geo/E pro has on their 19FBTH. Which allows you to adjust both ride...

Taxa trailer frames are definitely very lightweight and not built as heavy as the typical Indiana RV junk. If you pack heavy or go over board on stuff stacked and bolted to the tongue you can have frame issues.
